National Right (Liberal Party of Australia)

The National Right, also known as the Conservatives, or the Hard Right, is one of four factions within the federal Liberal Party of Australia. Reportedly concerned more with social issues, the faction is the most organised and the furthest right-leaning of the four. During the prime ministership of Malcolm Turnbull, the faction (of which Turnbull was not a member) rose in size and influence, and between 2019–2022 it underwent a change of leadership, but lost many prominent members, including Tony Abbott, Eric Abetz and Kevin Andrews, as well as former Liberal Party Senators Cory Bernardi and Mathias Cormann. The faction has a significant young membership, with Michael Sukkar (factional leader), Andrew Hastie, James Paterson and former Senator Amanda Stoker all being millennials. Furthermore, former New South Wales Premier, Dominic Perrottet, is from the faction.

Peter Dutton was the Leader of the Liberal Party and Leader of the Opposition at the 2025 Australian federal election. As of the 2022 Australian federal election, the National Right was the Liberal Party's largest internal grouping, with 27 of 65 Liberal MPs aligned with the faction.

Angus Taylor, who is in the National Right faction, was defeated in a leadership election by Sussan Ley by 29 votes to 24.
